Student accommodation in Australia

Australia is one of the top three destinations globally for international students, thanks to two strong academic systems: the Group of Eight research universities and the broader Australian Technology Network. Melbourne and Sydney dominate international enrolment, with Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide steadily growing. The Australian academic year runs February-November, with most international students arriving in January. Purpose-built student accommodation is common in CBD areas and near major campuses like the University of Melbourne in Parkville and the University of Sydney in Camperdown. Bills are sometimes charged separately, so always read the inclusions list before signing.
